Ex-GoT. An. STEPHENS COUSIN.

| am first cousin of the late Ex-Governor
Alexander II. Stephens, and have been postal
clerk on different railroads since 1865 For
ten years / have been sufferer rom cancer
on my face, which grew worse until the dis
charge of mattar became proiuse and very Of
fensive. | became thoroughly disgusted with
blood purifiers and pronounced them humbugs,
as had tried many without relief.
Finally was induced to use b. u. B., which
was about the lst of February, and continued
its use until the latter part of April The Of
fensiye discharge decreased at once and the
hardness around the cancer disappeared 1t
improved nv general health and / rapidly
gained flesh and strength. The discharge grad
uallv decreased and the cancer became less
in size until nothing remains except scar to
tell the tale of once dangerous cancer. All
who have seen me since / have commenced the
use of B. b. B. bear testimony of my great
Improvement and the scar on my face shows
that it cured the cancer. | ind that b. B. b.
comes squarely up TO what it Is recommended,
and | cannot say too much in praise of this
wonderful medicine / have tried them all,
but B. B. B. stands at the top as a blood puri-
fier.

Patriotic Letter.

The following is the response Of Pres
ident Cleveland to the invitation to be at
Gettysburg. He is great as President and
wonderful as n speech-maker and letter
writer. He gives sectionalism black eye
every time:
81 have received your invitation to attend,
as guest of the Philadelphia Brigade.
reunion of ex-Confederate soldiers of
Pickett's Division who survived their terri
BILE charge at Gettysburg and those Of the
Union army still living by whom it was he.
roicaly resisted The fraternal meeting of
these soldiers upon the battle field where
twenty-f four years ago in deadly fray they
fiercely sought each others lives, where
they saw their comrades fall, and where all
their thoughts were of vengance and de-
struction, will illustrate the general I'M
pulse of brave men, and their honest desire
for peace and reconciliation. The friendly
assault there to be made will be resistless,
because inspired by American chivalry;
and its result will be glorious because con-
quered hearts will be its trophies of success.
Thereafter this battle field will be conse-
Grated by victory which shall presage the
end of the bitterness of strife, the exposure
of the sincerity which conceals hatred by
professions of kindness, the condemnation
of frenzed appeals to passion for unworthy
purposes and the beating down of all that
stands in the way of the destiny of our
united country. While those who fought
and who have so much to forgive lead
in the pleasant ways of peace, how wicked
appear the traffic in sectional hate and the
hetraval of natriOtic sentiment IL surely
cannot be wrong to desire the settled quiet
which lights for our entire country the path
to prosperity and greatness nor need the
lessons of the war be forgotten and its re-
suits jeopardized in the wish for that genu-
inc fraternity which insures national pride
and glory. ! should be very glad to accept
your invitation and be with you at this in
teresting reunion, but other arrangements
already made and my official duties here
will prevent nay doing so. Hoping that the
occasion will be as successful and useful as
its promoters can desire | am yours, very
truly, GROVER CLEVELAND.

Buffalo Bill on Horseback Riding.

How do we get such perfect seats ? By
gripping our horse with our knees and
legs, sitting low and accommodating our
selves to every motion of the animal. 1t
becomes second nature after awhile. l
can tell every move that horse intends
making after l have been on his back
FIVE minutes. If you want to see how
the art of perfect riding is acquired,
watch our little Indian boys playing on
the burios and ponies. The instant they
get near they mount them. When they
are barebacked they have no way OF
holding themselves on except by gripping
with the knees. Their legs are not long
enough to catch under the round of the
animals barrel, and yet a six-year-old
youngster will stick on like wax.

Mired up Relationship.

The way people can mix up themselves
and their relatives in the matter of marriage
was perhaps never better illustrated than In
the case of backwoods Maine family, OF

A father son and grandson married three
sisters.
That looks simple enough, doesn't it?
It hasn't dawned on you yet.
Well, see here:

Caroline.
What then?
Amos is brother to his son.
Amos is brother to his grandson.
Amos is grandfather to his daughter
Amos is grandfather to his sister.
Amos is father to his wife.
Amos is father to his grandson.
Amos is his own grandfather, his own

Benjamin is brother TO his father.
Benjamin is brother to his son.

The Late Mrs. Fdir1dr.

The death of Mrs. Mary Randolph
Fairfax, in Washington recently, has
been announced. As stated, she was the
widow of the late DR.. Orlando Fairfax,
who was for years a prominent physician
of Alexandria. At the breaking out of
the war he moved to Richmond, and liv-
ed there until the time of his death. One
of his sons obtained a position i'll one of
the government Departments, and anoth-
er held position in the Chesapeake and
Ohio Railroad offices, recently removed
to Washington. This induced Mrs. Fair
fax and her daughter, Miss Virginia, to
leave Richmond and become residents of
Washington. DR.. Fairfax was one of
the lineal descendants of Greenway Court.
Mrs. Fairfax was Miss Mary Randolph
Cary, a great granddaughter of the beau
tiful Mary Cary who was forced by her
father to decline the hand of young Cap
tain Washington, and accept that of her
wealthier suitor, Colonel Edward AM
bier. Afterwards, when she saw Wash
ington riding at the head of ? victorious
army, Virginia, tradition says, tainted
away at the sight of her old lover, whom
she had not seen since she rejected him.
Mrs. Fairfax's beautiful face and remark
able character well sustained the we'll
known attributes of her deservedly dis
tinguished ancestry. She leaves one
daughter and four sons. One of her
daughter resides in Wilmington, n. G.,
and is the wife of Hon. George Davis OF
that city.-Aler. Gazette.

she replied, "but under the Interstate Com

pooling is also forbidden" Then he cried

The free bird flies and sings;
Beneath upon the ground its shadow plays
In endless, aimless maze.

And not the bright winged bird
And all the years thine arrows squanderest
On such insensate quest

Still flash the white wings If one shaft re-

self, fished off the dock at Elk Rapids for
five long, weary hours and got one perch
weighing five ounces. When we started for
the hotel each of us put hook in the mouth
of the victim, threw the poles on our shoul-
ders, and we stepped of softly and sadly.
There was little old man from Louisville
on the hotel veranda as we came up. He
had fshed and bobbed and bobbed and fish
ed for two weeks without getting bite.
Gentlemen" he said, as we came up,
"did you all hook that perch to once?"
"To once" we replied in chorus.
"All pull to once"
"To once"
That's all want to know. If it takes
three big able-boded liars five hours to
hook little fish like that I'm going where

sort of show Landlord, how much do /
owe you ?"
